Rowdy's Graduation

Little Rowdy is growing so fast... and now he has graduated into the world of Big Sheep!

Things were a little rough at first, but now under the watchful eye of his momma, Baby, he has made some new friends, and everybody's getting along great.

He even leads an occasional game of follow the leader!

Although it's easy to get lost in the madness of feeding time, he has learned to just get the heck out of the way and he won't get trampled.

Time out for a drink, then back with the rest of the gang for another romp around the manger.

Ummm, Molly?

Please don't chew on the camera strap....

I have been doing a little shopping... my dear friend Mare at Moon & Stars Studio has just opened up an ETSY shop and has some wonderful things for sale... I saw these gorgeous earrings and just had to have them! (And they are even more beautiful in person!)

And to show you what a awesome artist she is, look at the watercolor painting she did of our broody banty hen, The Little Terrorist! It is so beautiful!

I can't believe how much it resembles the real thing.... isn't it amazing?

Mare is so wonderful and talented- she makes jewelry, dolls, and knits, along with her beautiful paintings. Thank you so much, Mare!

What a cutey Rowdy is!! Growing up so fast. And Molly, that sill girl, tehe. Those earings and painting are great. I love how Etsy showcases peoples creations. That site is fast becoming my favorite place to visit. Thank you for showing us!

Hi...sweet little Rowdy greeting the big old world but he's got his mama..thats a good thing! Love the errings, very pretty! And the chicken portrait too...very good! You have a good week..is it still winter there? We finally got a 1/2 inch..first this winter! Come say hi :D

Paula, Rowdy is so cute. I am glad he has graduated to the herd. Love all the pictures. Goodness, you are so right. The picture Mare painted looks just like your banty. Thank you for sharing with us. We have lots of rain here this week, probably coming your way, so get prepared. (grin) Winona

Rowdy is growing so fast! And the earrings and watercolor are works of art, you are so fortunate to have them. I love good watercolors of just about anything but to have one of my own animals would be especially precious. I will have to check out her shoppe.

Love the pictures of Rowdy. I just love the sheepies! And I love those earrings! I will be checking out the Esty shop. I love fish hook earrings. Working where I have to dress like an adult gives me the excuse I need to buy loads of new jewelry. Awesome!

What cute pictures...especially of mama watching Rowdy playing with his new friends. Enjoy your earrings and the painting....they are awesome! I will definitely have to check out her Etsy shop. Thanks for sharing :)Tracey

Snow flurries and overcast skies greeted me at sunrise; pretty much a raw morning as the wind is whipping around, making it feel much, much colder. The high temperature today is supposed to be 24, so the daily pattern of “break ice, fill with warm water, repeat” will continue so the sheep and chickens will have something to drink. Meanwhile, Lily is tending the fire for me while I make a pot of tea, and by tending, I mean napping upright on her pillow.

On my agenda for today, along with a mountain of laundry: cleaning up the last of the decorations and messes from Christmas, like the one I made in my sewing room while wrapping presents a couple of weeks ago. I’ve been able to put off dealing with that by just staying out of that room, but yesterday I couldn’t find my scissors in the midst of all the clutter, so its time. I also want to finish binding a small lap quilt I made for myself. The fabric has a Christmas theme and colors, but I used some really nice warm batting between the la…

So much time has gone by.... where do I start? If anyone is still out there, I'll just say for the record that although I've been away from my blog for what seems like forever... I never forgot about it- or all my blog friends either.
I'll try to give an update on what's been going on around the Fraker Farm for the past year... I almost always talked to my dad several times a week, and in February of 2016 I had tried to call my dad for a couple of days but he never answered his phone. It was not unusual for him to not to answer on the first few tries because sometimes he just didn't hear the phone ring or he was outside when I called, but he always called me back after seeing my number on his caller ID. When he didn't return my calls, I started to worry. I drove to his house to check on him the next morning (I live almost an hour away) and found him on the floor. He had been there for at least 24-36 hours, judging by the condition of his clothes. He was alive, …

I live on a tiny farm in East Tennessee with my husband. When I'm not tending my sheep or chasing chickens out of my flower beds, I love to spin, weave, and sew while Lily the bulldog snores at my feet and guards my ankles from danger.
